Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The advances in early detection coupled with improvements in treatments have led to an ever increasing number of breast cancer survivors. New methods to improve outcomes, including strategies aimed at improving the quality of life and reducing the risk of other diseases, may complement the currently available treatment options. In particular, interventions targeting diet, weight and physical activity can reduce the risk of cancer occurrence, prevent cancer recurrence, and improve survival and the quality of life.This cross-sectional, prospective, observational study aims at evaluating dietary habits and nutritional knowledge in patients with early hormone receptor positive and hormone receptor negative breast cancer.

This study collects blood samples as well as clinical and self-report data from stage I-III breast cancer survivors to create a biorepository for future use. The creation of this biorepository will allow for future research into links between individual, molecular, and genomic signatures and cancer outcomes.

This study gathers information and samples for further analysis as part of the BEAUTY study. The purpose of the BEAUTY study was to better understand the reasons why or why not breast cancers respond to standard chemotherapy. Collecting samples of blood and tissue and health and treatment information from patients on the BEAUTY study may help doctors identify changes that make cancer better respond to standard chemotherapy and develop better therapies for the treatment of cancer.

RadioVal will develop and implement interoperable solutions for clinical deployment of the radiomics tools, including information, training, and communication packages for clinicians and patients, as well as standard operating procedures for the integration of radiomics in clinical oncology. With this study, we will clinically validate these solutions, by looking at their reliability for precise breast cancer diagnosis, treatment recommendation and prognosis estimate, treatment response, evaluation of residual disease and outcome prediction.

The purpose of this study is to continue to develop a liquid biopsy (minimally invasive blood test) that can be used to confirm if breast cancer has spread throughout the body and if this liquid biopsy test can provide comparable information to a highly invasive tissue biopsy. The knowledge gained in this study could be used in future studies to confirm cancer recurrence using a safe and minimally invasive procedure. The research will consist of looking for tumor cell(s) circulating in the blood stream and if they are present to characterize them so that more information about the disease can be collected. This information may help us to better understand how to fight cancer.

This study compares synthetic mammography to full-field digital mammography in image interpretation and performance metrics. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has previously been found to be superior in performance to standard digital mammography in both screening and diagnostic settings for the early detection and improved diagnosis of breast cancers. DBT in combination with full-field digital mammography (FFDM) reduces recall rates and increases cancer detection rates relative to FFDM alone. Synthetic mammography is a 2-dimensional reconstructed image, using the dataset derived from the DBT acquisition, without requiring additional radiation dose. Collecting information from patients' medical records may help doctors analyze the characteristics, utility, and impact of synthetic mammography to compared to FFDM.

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) was an anthracycline nanomedicine to be approved for advanced breast cancer and other solid tumor therapy and showed a good disease control rate (57%). PLD could induce hypersensitivity reaction (HSR). There are about 9-25% patients got infusion reaction or HSR. Severe HSR could lead to allergic shock even presyncope or threat to life. To our knowledge, there were no sensitivity biomarker to predict the PLD induced HSR. And the mechanism of PLD induced HSR is unknown yet. Therefore, to analyze and discuss the biomarkers and mechanism of PLD induced HSR in advanced breast cancer, we design this prospective, observational, biomarker study.

This a prospective, longitudinal study designed to track edema and Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema (BCRL) onset in breast cancer patients taking targeted therapy treatments for early and metastatic breast cancer. A Perometer and Sozo devise will be used to measure volume changes

the study aiming for compairing results of hypofractionaton radiotherapy treatment in patient with early breast cancer between two arms the first arm recieving five fractions and the other arm recieving fifteen fraction

The standard of care imaging of breast cancer metastases recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan, may be suboptimal. 18F-fluoroestradiol (FES) is a novel PET tracer designed to detect estrogen receptors, which are often expressed in breast cancers. FES PET/CT may provide improved evaluation of metastases in patients with ER-positive breast cancer.
